TIE FLOWER GIRLS.
The Reality Of a Current London
Fiction.
BY MES. ROBERT p. PORTER.

LONDON. July %, 1887.
The London flower girl as you find her in
Grosvenor Gallery or the Royal Academy is
picturesque in the extreme She is generally
depicted with a wealth of hair and becoming
scantiness of attire. Her eyes are large and
melancholy, her red mouth pitiful, and her
wan face a touching contrast 10 the brilliant
flowers heaped with artistic carelessness in her
lap or held out with a supplicating air to the
imaginary passer-by. 1t seems almost coarse,
and quite needless, TO add that these charming
conceptions convey an idea of toilet carefully
attended in its first essential.
Months of careful observation have convinced
me that the London flower girl and picturesque
poverty are far apart. The very name under
which these vendors Of the "al a-growin', all
a-bloomin'" blossoms pass is so broad and elias
tic AS TO be misleading. The flower girl Is just
as likely TO be

On Primrose Day, originating in honor Of Lord
BeacOnsheld, the street corners are fairly yell
low with the conservative flower, even the
hanson driver stopping for penny bunch to

old fashioned people. A penny will always

pose, and then TO their particular standing
place. Business is slow until noon; then it
begins to look up. About o'clock il grows
brisk, aud every omnibus as IL starts is besieged
by eager flower girls, in whose sales the con-
ductor usually takes a friendly interest. In
the evening trade thrives, for every counter
skipper and errand-boy wants flower TO make
him look fine for the theater or music hall.

arrangements and decorations in flowers that l
have ever seen in New York were the
WORK OF woMAN's FINGERS.
The very instincts of the sex tells them more
about the arrangement of flowers than a man
can obtain by studying effects. aud to all women
the wire-and toothpick device is an abomina-
ton.
Here am tempted to digress again TO ask if
you have ever noticed how much of her natural
character woman reveals in her way Of hand
ling flowers have seen "A delicate, elegant
woman pull plant up by the roots in pluck
ing a single blossom, and have seen rough,
coarsel looking woman break off a bud es if it

find a singular contrast in the manner OF

enters from the fields and arranges the flowers

pressed together and the final jam into the jar

unfeeling. Even if the flowers were artificial
which they were MOTT would be unpardon-
able, for Camille is anything but an unwomanly
woman. Look at Miss Terry as Margaret,
when wandering in the garden with Faust.
She appears with her hands full Of daisies. All
that she affects TO be in the play is here in the
treatment Of the flowers. Now she draws their
stems through her golden braids, then cOquet-
tishIy sticks them ia the laeings of her quaint
sleeves aud finishes with that delicious bit OF
by-play, He loves me, he loves me not" Her
slender fingers caress the daisies, and even in

not rough with them. Her touch is that Of a
